Large Louis XV-style Mantel Mirror
Large Louis XV-style mantel mirror, 19th century
Dimensions:
Height: 166 cm
Width: 63 cm
Elegant Louis XV-style mantel mirror or trumeau made of carved and gilded wood.
The dynamic silhouette of its frame, with scalloped lines characteristic of the Rocaille style, is enhanced by a large openwork pediment richly carved with acanthus leaves, volutes, shells, and flowers.
The frame features a refined decoration of beaded moldings and foliage motifs arranged on the side panels and spandrels.
The rich ornamentation of the pediment attests to particularly meticulous carving work.
The mirror retains its original mercury-coated glass—or at least glass from the period—which exhibits slight discoloration and variations that contribute to its charm and authenticity.
The back panel, featuring traditional parquet work, confirms its 19th-century craftsmanship.
With its harmonious proportions and beautiful decorative quality, this mirror will naturally find its place above a fireplace, in an entryway, or as a major decorative feature in a classic interior.

Style
Louis XV / Rocaille.
Materials
Carved wood gilded with gold leaf.
Condition
